If you're going to abuse your RAW files like that, you should expect them to look like crap. The X-Trans III files color fidelity holds up pretty well to around ISO 25,600 or so if you process carefully. much higher than that and the color will be somewhat unpredictable. My X-T2 and X-T20 (same sensor) will tend to go green in the shadows if you get ridiculous with the brightness gain (correctable), but I don't get any significant purple glow like in your example, so I don't know what's going on there. Was your sensor hot? Did you take lots of images prior to this one? Maybe your camera does have an issue, maybe it doesn't How does it look at ISO 12800 with normal processing?

I shoot in very low light with some regularity and it has to be VERY dark indeed for me to have to go to black and white with my X-Trans III cameras. I have not encountered a better performing APS-C sensor at high ISOs than this one and have always been able to manage a halfway decent looking image in almost any light. I think you may have some unrealistic expectations about what an APS-C sensor can do, If you've got no photons to work with, photography will become problematic with any camera.
